Is it the barbecue, the jazz, the sports teams, the casinos, the art scene or the seemingly unsurpassed commitment to community that drives business decision-makers to consider Kansas City? Kansas City has come a long way from its founding in 1850 as the "Town of Kansas."
|
Because of its central location, it is a hub for manufacturing, as well as headquarters to companies such as Hallmark Cards, Sprint, Russell Stover Candies, and Applebee's Restaurants. Famous people have even called Kansas City "home," including Harry S Truman, artist Thomas Hart Benton, cartoonist Walt Disney and baseball Hall of Famer George Brett.
| Kansas City is nicknamed "The City of Fountains," because it has more fountains than any city except Rome, Italy. Kansas City's historic Country Club Plaza, modeled after sister city, Seville, Spain, features dozens of upscale shops and restaurants. Its annual Christmas lighting ceremony, featuring over 75 miles of wire and 200,000 lights, draws thousands of visitors. Kansas City is a city firmly rooted in history, as well as a city on the move. |
